Illini football player Hugh Thornton was arrested at approximately 1:30 a.m. Sunday at Joe’s Brewery in Champaign, according to an e-mail from State’s Attorney Julia Rietz.

Police responded to a call describing a fight in progress, which Thornton was involved in. At the time of the fight, the 19-year-old sophomore from Oberlin, Ohio, was found carrying an ID card belonging to another individual. He admitted using the ID to get into the bar.

Upon his arrest Thornton had already been sentenced to 12 months of court supervision after an incident on Sept. 20, 2009, in which University police were called by Thornton’s Resident Advisor due to a confrontation between Thornton, who had been drinking, and the RA.

After that incident Thornton was also ordered to perform public service work and obtain a substance abuse evaluation for the offense of Unlawful Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor.

Since he had not yet obtained the substance abuse evaluation at the time of his arrest Sunday, the State’s Attorney’s Office filed a petition to revoke Thornton’s court supervision, rather than file new charges.

If his court supervision is revoked, Thornton would face resentencing on a class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in the Champaign County Correctional Center. He could also be sentenced to probation.

Thornton already posted bond and was released. His next court date is Oct. 13.
